The State Level Advisory Committee and the Governing Body of the State Institute of Rural Development, Mizoram were also set up. Upon the approval of the Governing Body of SIRD in its meeting held on October 25, 2000, various posts required under SIRD were created. The Government of Mizoram further approved creation of various posts under SIRD on April 20, 2001.

INFRASTRUCTURES OF ETC Pukpui Centre is now equipped with computer and other facilities. From the recurring fund received from central and the state, basic requirement for training equipments like Laptop computer, Digital Camera, Xerox machine, etc are purchased during 2007-08 But the present equipments and facilities available at the ETC is far from sufficient and proposal is submitted to the state government as well as to the Central Government for purchase of those essential facilities for capacity enhancement of the ETC. It may also be mentioned that in 2007-08 the state government provided Rs. 2,50,500.00 for construction of approach road from Kawmzawl road to the Centre. However, the sanctioned amount is not sufficient to complete the pavement with black topping and it was utilized for laying boulders, chips, etc. As pointed out earlier, Thingsulthliah Centre now functions from SIRD, Kolasib. One of the reasons for such arrangement is that the Ministry of Rural Development has not yet provided Non-recurring expenditure for purchase of office equipments, training aids, etc. Thingsulthliah staff are utilizing SIRD facilities and training

equipments for conducting training at present. Achievement under Non-Recurring Grant received from MoRD Ministry of Rural Development sanctioned Rs. 35.73 lakhs for renovation of classroom, library, construction of pavement, purchase of training equipments and furnishing. The sanctioned amount was utilized for the said purposes. Themed emphasis on double entry financial system for RD establishments from SIRD Among various issues identified as stress-points by the SIRD faculties, emphasis was put forwarded to introduce and compel effective and consistent financial recording system by all RD establishments at a uniformed platform. Based on the compulsion laid by the DRDA guidelines, the RD Department, Govt. of Mizoram issued a notification No. B.11016/10/2001-RD(Acct.) to make double entry system as method of financial record keeping from 1st April, 2008. Other Activities: Besides conducting training at the Institute as well as off-campus courses at different places, SIRD, Mizoram has been appointed by the state government as one of the Mid-term evaluators of IWDP/Haryali projects in Mizoram. Faculties of SIRD and ETC, Pukpui and ETC, Thingsulthliah have evaluated 11(eleven) projects at different places in Mizoram during 2007-2008. The projects so evaluated are listed below-

1) Kolasib – II 2) Lunglei I 3) Lunglei III 4) Lunglei IV 5) Lunglei V 6) Lunglei VI 7) Lunglei VII 8) Serchhip IV 9) Mamit II 10) Mamit III 11) Mamit V
